Boyne Falls offers some fantastic Largemouth Bass fishing, with a variety of lakes and ponds in the area. Lake Charlevoix, a short drive away, is a great place to start. The diverse structure of the lake, from weed beds to docks, provides ample habitat for bass. Early summer, after the spawn, and early fall are generally the best times to target Largemouth. As the water warms in the summer, focus on deeper weed lines and structure. Local wisdom suggests focusing on the north end of Lake Charlevoix near the mouth of the Jordan River. This area tends to hold more fish due to the inflow of nutrients. A practical tip: use weedless lures and Texas-rigged worms when fishing the thick vegetation. Also, pay attention to the mayfly hatches; bass will often key in on these insects. The Largemouth Bass in this region are known for their healthy size, making it a rewarding destination for anglers.
